The Indian Oil Men's and the ONGC Women's pairs stamped their supremacy in the Doubles event at the XXXIII PSPB Inter Unit Carrom Tournament 2013 here today.
The Men's doubles final was an all Indian Oil affair with the experienced duo of Yogesh Pardeshi and K Ramesh Babu taking on their team-mates K Srinivas and Hidayat Ansari.
Yogesh and Ramesh prevailed in straight games 25-12 17-14.
The third place in Men's doubles was claimed by Sandeep Deorukhkar and Ashok Gaur of ONGC, who made short work of their own upcoming pair of Naresh Rathod and Prashant More 22-0 25-16.
The hopes of Indian Oil adding the Women's Doubles crown were dashed when the seasoned ONGC duo of Rashmi Kumari and S Ilavazhaki defeated Parimala Devi and Khushboo Kumari in a roller coaster final, the scoreline reading 16-15 17-25 25-0 in favour of the former.
The third place in Women's Doubles went to the Indian Oil pair of Sneha More and Kajal Kumari, who thrashed R Vinitha and P Thangamalar from ONGC in straight games 25-0 25-1.
There was a major upset in women's singles when the 15-year-old Kajal Kumari of Indian Oil toppled the current World Champion Rashmi Kumari (ONGC) in a close quarterfinal tie 15-12 17-16.
